Instead of having everyone read the same book each month, the Choose Your Own Adventure book group provides a monthly theme and members choose their own books within the theme. Then, each member will present their chosen book to the group and rate it from 1-5 stars.

This idea was inspired by the Novel Neighbor account on TikTok.
